"Why, I'm not welcome here!" Li Pearl pretended to be angry and said.

"Why, I wish you were coming every day!" Xie Xiaonian said happily.

"Hmph, count you on a conscience!"

After Li Pearl entered the room and sat down, she put the small package she took on the kang table, and then said to Xie Xiaonian while opening it: "Look what I got for you, oh oh, military uniform." As he spoke, he shook it in front of Xie Xiaonian's eyes as if showing off.

Xie Xiaonian was really a little surprised when he saw the brand-new military uniform in Li Zhuzhu's hand, and hurriedly asked, "Where did you get it, it's still new." ”

"My mother sent it to me, how about it, it looks good, I sent two bodies in total, and we happened to be one for the other." Li Pearl said happily.

"How can I ask for what your mother sent you, you can keep it for yourself, the loyal army got me a military uniform when I got married, and I wore it once on the day of my wedding, and it's still new." Xie Xiaonian saw that Li Pearl was going to give him a military uniform, so he hurriedly refused.

"This one was specially sent to you by my mother, and you must keep it. And you take such good care of me and help me so much, my mother sent you a military uniform, it is not right, you must take it, otherwise my mother will definitely not be able to spare me, and I still have one. Li Pearl replied without refusal.

"I didn't help you anything, it's all because you work hard enough to adapt to life here, even without me, you can live well." Xie Xiaonian said.

"What's the matter, you have helped me a lot, if it weren't for you, I would definitely be hungry like Zhang Hao and Chen Jianshe now, or like Lin Xiaodan, because I couldn't stand the suffering, I would just find someone from the village to marry. So you must keep this dress, if you don't take it, I will be angry, and I will not come to your house in the future. Li Pearl pretended to be angry again.

"Okay, okay, can't I keep it, don't pout, it's going to be this trick." Xie Xiaonian said funny.

"Well, I know, Xiao Nian you are the best, but my mother didn't tell me in advance about sending clothes, and I didn't know your size, so I tried to get a bigger one, if it's not suitable, you can use the sewing machine to change it again." Li Pearl heard that Xie Xiaonian was willing to accept it, and said happily.

"By the way, there are also things that Liu Yifan gave you, this was sent by Liu Yifan's family, and his mother made it herself, but it was delicious, but it was a little sour." Saying that, Li Pearl took out a large oiled paper bag, and when she opened it, she saw that there was a large bag of dried bayberry inside.

Xie Xiaonian glanced at it, and felt that sour water began to bubble up in her mouth, there was no bayberry in her space, she hadn't eaten it for a long time.

So Xie Xiaonian directly reached out and took one and put it in her mouth, probably because of the sugar, she didn't feel too sour, but felt sweet and sour, she ate one, and some regrets were not sour enough.

And there are bayberry cores in it, Xie Xiaonian thought, you don't need to cook bayberry to make dried bayberry, as long as it is salted, these bayberry cores should have something that can sprout.

So Xie Xiaonian was going to leave all these bayberry kernels and try to plant them in the space.

"It's really delicious, you go back and help me thank Liu Yifan." By the way, what's wrong with you two, did you tell your parents? Xie Xiaonian gossiped.

"We get along very well, and I have already told my family, my eldest brother did not object when he wrote to him, but he did not agree, saying that when he waited for the New Year, let my second brother come here and take a look, and Liu Yifan's parents have no opinion." Li Pearl said shyly.

In fact, Li Pearl and his eldest brother said this just to drag Li Pearl back, afraid that as soon as there was opposition in the family, Li Pearl would rebel against him and do something irreparable.

But they didn't agree, nor did they dislike Liu Yifan's family background, nor did they let their sister marry because of their sister's control.

The main reason is that they haven't seen Liu Yifan yet, even if Li Pearl says the other party well, they are not at ease.

My sister who has been hurting for so many years wants to find a partner, so why do they have to check it well.

Xie Xiaonian saw that the two had plans and got along very well, and he was very happy for them, so he said, "That's good, don't forget to invite me to drink wedding wine when you get married." After finishing speaking, Xie Xiaonian laughed.

Li Pearl was blushed, looked at Xie Xiaonian sadly, and said, "You tease me again, I won't play with you anymore." ”

Xie Xiaonian knew that people were very shy at this time, and they were not as open as in later generations, so he hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, I won't joke with you, you can stay here to eat today, you didn't eat at home last time." ”

"Really, okay, okay, let's make dumplings and eat, I haven't eaten for a long time, at home, Liu Yifan and I have to eat something secretly, and I haven't dared to make dumplings, I'm afraid that the noise will be too loud and someone else will find out." Li Pearl said.

"Okay, no problem, I happen to have the meat I bought yesterday at home. But you usually pretend to be the meat sent by your family, or go to the market every time, and then eat the pheasants and hares at home when you come back, just say that you bought it at the market, as long as the number of times is not much, not too excessive, no one will say anything, how can you be so wronged because you are afraid of being discovered. Although Xie Xiaonian had just eaten dumplings yesterday, he decided to eat them again for the sake of Li Pearl.

"Yes, why didn't I think of it, I just don't care about not being discovered by others, anyway, others don't know how much money and tickets we have in our hands, as long as the supply and marketing cooperatives have sales, I can say that I bought them, and I don't have to worry about the New Year's goods now." Li Pearl said happily.

And what she didn't know was that although Li Yifan didn't say it, he had already done it a long time ago, otherwise he could have swaggered to move home every time he sent something from home!

"Then let's go and prepare dumplings now, and chop the stuffing and noodles."

Xie Xiaonian actually took a piece of pork from the back room, and then shaved some chicken from the air-dried pheasant before, and prepared to make dumplings with two kinds of fillings: pork shiitake mushrooms and radish chicken.

Because Xie Xiaonian wanted to send some to the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law's family, and also steamed some for Liu Yifan and the third grandmother, so that the pearls could be brought back, so the two were busy all morning and made a lot of dumplings.

Early the next morning, when Xie Xiaonian went to fetch water, he happened to meet his eldest brother Xu Mingzhong, who was fetching water, and when he saw Xie Xiaonian, Xu Zhongming said happily: "Third brother and sister, the new flour at home can be ground today, and my mother asked you to go to the house to eat noodles at night." ”

"Don't you say that I forgot that it was our turn to grind noodles today, and now I am grinding in the brigade, I will go and see if there is anything I can help with." Xie Xiaonian continued.

"You don't need to go, our father and mother are here, there is a donkey to grind, and it doesn't take much effort, you have nothing to do if you go, you see that I and your sister-in-law didn't go, you remember to come home to eat noodles at night." After speaking, Xu Zhongming took the burden and left.

Xie Xiaonian didn't say anything more when he saw this, just waited for the evening to come over early and help cook.

Although most of the villagers' wheat is handed over to the public grain or sold to the supply and marketing cooperatives, each family will still keep a little to eat, and each family will grind some flour during the Chinese New Year, at least have to eat dumplings.

However, there are only 2 donkeys in Xujialing, so the villagers will dry the wheat in advance, and start to grind the noodles in turn from late November, so it will probably take until about 20 in the lunar month for the whole village to finish grinding.

After grinding the noodles, every family will also use flour to make something delicious to improve their lives, and the noodles of white noodles are already a rare and delicious food in the hearts of the villagers who take corn as the staple food every day.

That's why Mother Xu specially called Xie Xiaonian to her home, thinking about improving Xie Xiaonian's life, after all, Xie Xiaonian usually has something delicious but has never forgotten them.

In the evening, Xie Xiaonian went to her sister-in-law's house early, although Xu's mother did the work of rolling noodles by herself, and it was not her turn, but she could still help with the fire and washing vegetables.

Xu Mu made soup noodles at night, although only a little cabbage leaves were put in it, but because the cabbage in the noodles was fried in meat oil, it tasted like meat.

In addition, the Xu family has not eaten noodles for a long time, so the family eats very fragrant with small pickles.

Xie Xiaonian also felt that Xu's mother had very good skills, and the noodles were rolled very strongly, better than what she made herself, and because it was cold now, a bowl of hot noodle soup felt warm all over her body, which was very comfortable.

After eating, Xie Xiaonian was about to help clean up the dishes and chopsticks, when he heard Xu's mother say: "Xiaonian, don't clean up, let your sister-in-law clean up." ”

"That's it, Xiao Nian, you don't have to touch your hands, I'll finish this little work in a while." Saying that, the sister-in-law cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks with her hands and feet, and then went to the stove house to brush the pots and wash the dishes.

Because he ate early, Xie Xiaonian was not in a hurry to go home, so he chatted with Xu's father and mother at his sister-in-law's house, and played with a few children.

After the sister-in-law cleaned up, Xie Xiaonian stayed for a while, and when she saw that it was getting dark, she was ready to go home: "Daddy, it's not early, I'll go back first." ”

When Mother Xu saw that Xie Xiaonian was leaving, she said to her, "Don't go in a panic first." ”

Then he said to his sister-in-law: "Su Xin, go and bring the flour for Xiao Nian and let her take it home." ”

"Okay, mother." After speaking, the sister-in-law went to the back room.

"No need, sister-in-law, I've eaten it all, how can I take it again, and I buy a lot of flour at home." When Xie Xiaonian heard that he was going to give her flour, he hurriedly stopped his sister-in-law and didn't let her take it.

She knows that her sister-in-law's family doesn't have much flour at all, so if she gives her a little, she doesn't know if it's enough to steam steamed buns for the New Year.

"It costs a lot of money to buy, and you have it at home, it's yours, that's our intention. I didn't get you wheat at the beginning, but I planned to wait for the noodles to be milled at home, and then I ordered it for you directly, if your mother's family and uncle's family came to the New Year, there was no white flour steamed bun to entertain, it would be laughed at. Mother Xu pulled Xie Xiaonian and asked her sister-in-law to go to the house to get flour.

"That's it, Xiao Nian, you just take it, usually you don't necessarily have it at home if you want to eat." The sister-in-law took the 20 catties of flour prepared before from the house and said directly to Xie Xiaonian.

After Xie Xiaonian saw that her sister-in-law didn't have any opinions, she had no choice but to continue, thinking that she would take something else in the future and go back.

"By the way, tomorrow is Laba, you can come over for dinner at noon, and the three of us will celebrate Laba Festival together." Mother Xu thought that tomorrow would be Laba, and hurriedly said to Xie Xiaonian that they had also spent Laba together in previous years, and they were afraid that Xie Xiaonian had just married and didn't know the rules.
